That would be very extreme, replacing out just to avoid getting pressured.neko wrote:On the other hand, he could be asking to replace out as a convenient excuse to avoid this sort of pressure, but, that seems unlikely.
he's going out of his way to convince us that he's not completely convinced about voting and that he's open to changing his mind in the future. just seems like a player who doesn't want to rub anybody the wrong way, while still appearing active.neko2086 wrote:I'd be hesitant about voting for you, but nobody is, currently, so there's no danger yet.

With that in mind, unless I'm an idiot and cannot understand your reasoning, I'd say you've pretty much confirmed my argument that you're posting for the sake of posting. Not only are you posting nothing but filler, but you're also basing votes off of it now.
And uh, if using a vote as a catalyst shouldn't "be exercised so freely," then I would try assume you're voting sammich for a good reason, but apparently, you are not.

1. Are you saying that it's scummy to be willing to change one's vote?Last time I checked, tunnel-vision was a no-no
2. If we're going to talk about a lack of pressure with voting, would you care to explain how voting without giving reason is applying pressure? Were you expecting me to flip out when I have 2 baseless votes on me? Sorry for being nice.
I appreciate your finally giving an explanation, though. I'm hoping to hear something from Gorckat, because he has yet to give one, but rather piggybacks off of one of your explanations.
That actually leads me to a concern I've had lately. While Gorckat had some substantial posts early on, he's been very quiet recently. He's been posting without actually contributing anything.FOSfor him. Lurking is bad, and there are several players in this game that should probably be replaced by now (any news,mod?). Actively lurking, however, is worse.
That's all for now. We really need all players participating. It was nice to get some discussion going even though not everyone was here, but now that some serious discussion is starting to happen (however slowly), it's somewhat dangerous to continue this way much longer.We could very well all be townies building arguments against each otherjust because we're the only ones talking.

I would suggest that everyone start participating so that we don't end up in the situation I just described.Right now, you're the best case I've got, but that's only because not everyone is speaking up. If somebody turns out to be more scummy-looking than you (Gorckat, perhaps), then maybe I'll be convinced that you're okfor now. But, unfortunately, we're missing quite a few people and it's difficultto know for sure if any of the people talking are scum.They're very likely one of the lurkers.
